Wow that went fast

I cannot believe my break is over. I have two more days and then it's back to the grind stone. At least the boys will be with my mom the first week of me being back at school/work. I have talked to them both about my late nights and I hope it goes ok. The first couple of weeks will be tough but we will get thru this. We will have all summer just us to hang and bond. My last free summer. I wish the price of gas would come down so we could take some day trips like I had planned. We will just have to see.

I cannot believe we had snow yesterday. I am already to wear spring /summer clothes and it flipping snowed. At least so far today we have not gotten the up to 7" they were talking about. I just hope it all melts today. I am going to run to the bookstore and get all my supplies for school while the boys are at their half day. I gotta fly up and back before Christopher gets home. JC will be fine on his own for a few. He stayed up until after 10 last night getting all his homework done. I am really proud of him. He did not get one of his math assignments done because he doesn't understand it but I emailed his teacher and she said she would have someone help him today. Then he hopefully can finish it at school. I got him in trouble at school on accident. We were working on a project about plant fossils and I cut and pasted info from a few articles off the internet not thinking of plagerism and he got detention and written up for it and he has to redo his entire project. Don't I feel like a horrible mommy!!!! Live and learn. At least he is not mad at me. He thinks the whole thing is stupid.

Geez...I feel like I wrote a book. I am off to get ready and get Christopher up so he can get ready for school then off I go.

big fat mommy loser

that pretty much sums up how I am feeling at this moment. I cannot get JC to understand the importance of doing his homework so I have taken everything possible away from him. Phone, myspace, friends and sports. He gets to do nothing until his grades come up. If they don't, well then he won't do anything ever again and I guess this will be one boring summer. Actually he will be home alone with no phones while Christopher and I go have fun.

For the past couple of days I have been feeling extremely fat. I think it is the first time I truely accepted the way I look. I have been watching What Not to Wear all day and it made me realize I really need to work on the way I look. I need to lose weight not only for myself but to be healthy for my kids. I want to be alive in 5 years but I won't be if I continue to eat the way I have been. I watched a show on TLC tonight with Paul Mckenna. I am going to try some of the things he said and see what happens. I need to exercise and I need to make the time (not sure when) but even if it is only for 10 minutes a day.

Had a few meltdowns today but I am hoping those are over. Tomorrow is a new day and I need to work on me and my house. It looks like 10 tornado's went thru it. One step at a time...well I am off for now....be back later and let you know how I am doing.

I am done!!!

well I made it thru the quarter. I am finished with classes~ I only have two days to work then I am free for two weeks. I start Spring quarter on March 31st. OF course that is the same day the boys start Spring Break. They are going to spend some time with my mom. JC may not like being away from his friends but I think it's the break he needs. He needs to get his head on straight. He is really stressed out about school. He is working hard to get caught up but tells me there are days he just doesn't understand what he is being taught. He is so much like me that he does not like to ask for help. When he does he feels he is being pushed away because they think he is asking because he is not paying attention. I am going to call his counselor at school and set up an appointment to meet with her while I am on break. That way we can get things straightened out. He has an appointment for a med check on the 21st. I am hoping that will help also. JC says they are not working by the afternoon.

Guess I will be busy during break. The bright spot of break is Lisa will be here. I get to spend some time with her. I cannot wait. It's been since last summer since I actually saw her. Yeah we talk on the phone but it's just not the same.
